Your attitude and spirit are so heartwarming to an old guy like me who thought that there were no more wonderful young people like you all. God bless you!
Glad you take the time to explain every step of growing your crops and tell us the many pitfalls involved. Between the weather, costs, and variables in profits we get an idea of just how involved and difficult modern farming can be. Farming truly is the lifeblood of the country and thanks for what you do and for letting us inside.
Somehow the restaurants who serve the food and farmers who produce it are the only businesses that will accept that tight of margins and volitile market. The steps in between always build in a set margin the same as just about every other business does.
From one farmer to another, congratulations on your harvest and seeing some profit at the end of the year, That is an achievement today, well done. Good luck in the coming year.
Laura could be a senator or house representative in the future. She's very eloquent and concise with how she explains things, and she has a ton of charisma.
Don't mean to sound mean but that is a very bad idea. You are correct she is the type of person needed in politics but Laura is way too nice a person for politics. They would eat her alive.

I’m a 75 year old buzzard retired from the fire sprinkler industry. I have been watching your videos for the last few years because I just like to learn new things. I’m impressed with your work and videos informative and entertaining. You and your husband are a wonderful couple I hope you plan on growing the next generation of farmers in the future. We need pass on work ethic so sometime if it’s God’s plan you’ll have a child or children to become as wholesome as you two are. As I said above I was in the fire sprinkler industry my entire career. When I see all of your equipment so tightly packed together in that large building I note that you don’t have a fire protection system. Please take a look at investing into a sprinkler system to protect your business. The cost of your insurance will go down and it will pay for itself in 5 years or less. You have all your eggs in one basket and you have seen and shared the devastating consequences of a fire. Your a smart person just look into the cost of installing a dry pipe sprinkler system for your large building. It will be expensive because you will need a water tank and pump. May God Bless you and your family. Merry Christmas. 🎄
America needs more farmers like those on Laura Farms. Children raised on a farm and in a farming community know the value of hard work, communication and ingenuity. Kudos to Laura Farms, splendid UA-cam channel.
The footage of that old combine going to work brought tears to my eyes..memories of my Grand dad's farm in Sheridan, In in the 1950's and 1960's..when I could skip school and help him harvest for 6 weeks.Best days ever !!
Thanks for combining clips from your harvest videos to show us an overview of farm life. I am glad to hear you made money this growing season. I like the nostalgia trip cutting through the field with vintage equipment. This adds the perspective of progressive farming - PAST ... PRESENT ... and FUTURE!
That was a really nice video summarizing the years work. It was especially nice to see the neighborliness of all the farmers coming together to help each other out fighting the field fires. So glad you turned a profit this year and may there be many more to come. You guys are the backbone to us all having a healthy country.
I've been watching now for about 5 years I think. Glad you made a profit this year, paid down some loans,, all good news. I knew some tiny bit of farming. Does running a John Deere B for plow, haying, manure spreading (the funniest thing I ever did in this life) Now I know about 10 times more, from you. Thank you.
Yay! Congratulations on another successful year! I know that I am not alone in saying that we all are totally emotionally invested in seeing you awesome farm kids succeed! What a great season of Laura Farms! ❤
I was told decades ago by my instructor," if you go fast, you'll go slow. If you go slow, you'll go fast" how true. think about that. Happy Holidays Grant, Laura and Family don't forget pepper and the kids.
Thank-you, Laura, you squeezed one year of farming into one video. - a good filmed video, as the video progress you answered the questions I was going to ask. When you have finished the accounts, I hope the profits are so good that you are able to purchase land outright that have cost you rent this year. Love to you all from Mike. ❤
I follow enough UA-camrs to know how much work is involved in creating content on a regular basis Laura. All that on top of your hours of farm work. With your number of subscribers and your regular posting, I have to think UA-cam has been a nice addition to your ability to grow your business. Congratulations on what appears to be a good year.
Happy Holidays, any time a business, any business does better than break ever it's a plus. I have friends that are commercial fishermen, the similarities between farming and fishing have jump out since I've been watching the past few years. So many things beyond your control that will determine whether a year will be profitable or not. Weather, equipment breakdowns, market prices.
I enjoy all of your videos. I have to say, this was my favorite video by far. I grew up on a farm in the late 60's and early 70's. Seeing the old equipment took me back many years. I started out with older equipment than that. Allis Chalmers WD-45 and D17. We had a tractor mounted two row corn picker on the D17. We hauled our grain in a 1948 Chevy truck. Before I got out of farming we had moved up to a John Deere 4020 and an International 806. We had a Gleaner combine with a 4 row corn head. And we had a 1968 Chevy C60 truck. Your video brought back some great memories. After leaving the farm, I went into software development. I am fascinated by the computerized farm equipment. I will turn 70 in just over a year and have made a list of 7 things I want to do by 70. To ride in one of the new big tractors or combines is on my list. Thanks again for all your great videos!
Laura and Grant, this was the best video ever. I love watching your videos I grew up on a dairy farm in Northern Vermont and love farming. But dairy farming is a 7 day a week job. If I was a younger man, I would love to farm like you folks do out there but I'm an old man now so I will have to settle watching you all for now .maybe in my next life and can 😂. Like I said I love your videos and hope you never stop making them you bring a smile to an old man's face. Love you all and thanks for sharing ❤❤❤.
I spent my summers on my family's farms in upstate new york in the mid 60s. I really appreciate what you are doing to provide for our food security, and showing us in each of your episodes. Been watching for a while now and am amazed at your spirit.
I really love your channel. When I was your age we struggled to get 100 bushels per acre. The most of the time we got around 86 bushels per acre. Of course we didn’t have all of the bells and whistles on our equipment. I don’t remember what your old tractor is but that and the old combine is what we had and thought we were living in high cotton. God bless you Grant and yours.
Congratulations on turning a profit. That it's small doesn't matter. Large corporations with huge staffs are losing money. You are a role model for other young farmers.
Hodně sněhu, lásku a něhu, pohodu a klid, to vše máte mít. A ještě plno věcí k tomu přejem celému Vašemu domu. Veselé Vánoce! Do nového ...Veterinární lékař Hodonín Česká republika ❤❤❤❤
I myself fly drones for many years and that is one beautiful shot At night you captured especially the one directly over the combine And seam to be about 300-400 foot height great shot, should Capture that Laura and make a photo of it.them are your once in a lifetime Shot.
@14minutes .. the look on her face as she holds back her excitement to wait for his excitement as they both just got the new combine ready to roll. Love it. Y'all seem like good folk. Keep your heads on straight and follow the rows!
Glad you made it to the finish line ahead of the hounds! The work and stress are real and your whole team is to be commended! Hope and pray you all will be able to recharge in the months ahead.
Laura and Grant, you and all of your crew are amazing folks! Not much else can be said worthy of honoring you’all. Just amazing!!!!! Many blessings to ya’ll. And Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you, Grant, and Gabe for another year of videos. You have provided so much insight to the role of the American farmers. Looking forward to the new year and following you through another season. Best wishes to all.
I’m a greenskeeper at a local 18 hole golf course. I’m 59 years old. It was a long season. It went by quickly. And fatigue has set in. My average clock in time is 4:30 am. Which on the first day of summer is less than an hour before sunrise. 😊⛳️
I love your channel, and I embrace and respect the hard work you and your team put in. I hope you and family had a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
I'm super excited to watch you and Grant (and Gage!) going at it again next year, getting ready for planting! I love all of your videos and I can't wait to see your next video!
Have some friends that used to run a dairy farm. Their yearly income from the dairy was about $1M. Subtract all of the costs to own and run the dairy and they managed to live just above the poverty line. It's a hard life.
Congratulations on a safe and profitable year. And thank you for taking us along with you. I enjoy watching your videos so much. I know it’s a lot of extra work, but it sure brings a lot of peace and joy to get to go along with you all on your journey! God bless and Merry Christmas 🎄
Laura, Grant, Gage….CONGRATULATIONS on turning a profit this year. I hope the grain prices go up under the new administration coming in and your profit doubles or triples next year! Thanks for all you do to allow me and all the others to follow your year’s journey! Love ya! ❤
Great job. Another year in the books and looks like you had a successful year with just a few bumps in the road. Good to see you guys clean everything up before putting it away for the winter. Makes starting out next year much easier. Here's something we did to make putting everything in the shed easier. We made a hitch to go on the front of a small tractor we had so you can just drive things right in the building.
Thank you for sharing the financial aspects of farming Laura. I often wondered with the hundreds of hours of hard work you and Grant put in, expenses to maintain equipment, fluctuations in prices for commodities, and natural events such as fires... storms..... if you even made a profit or broke even at least. Very Glad you all pulled in a profit this year. Thank you again. Enjoy your off season. Happy Holidays. See you next season on youtube.
I found your video quite informative . I asked Chat GPT the cost to plant and harvest an acre of corn in the USA and was quoted $700-800 per acre. So this is spot on to your $700 per acre. I also asked Chat GPT the same question for a Brazilian corn farmer and was told $269 pet acre. With a new administration, tariff concerns , export market challenges, look forward to seeing how you derive how much corn to plant for 2025. And thanks for you videos . Awesome.
Brazilian farmers dont have EPA or government regulations skyrocketing the prices of things like they do in the US. The US has regulated itself into non-prosperity.
Laura you are so inspiring! I love your content and how much work you do with farming is breathtaking difficult and time consuming. This leads me into how much time and work goes into all your video's and editing on top of your farming and one would ask how can you fit it all in a day and how can you possibly have any free-time for yourself. Laura you are a cut above the rest and my hats off to you. I pray for God to bless you and your family and for whatever you put your hands to will prosper. God bless
Thank you and all Farmers/Ranchers for taking the risks and hard work to provide me with my food. I am pleased that this year was profitable for your operation I wish their was a way to help your industry remain consistentely in the black. Again thanks and have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Ray
Been looking forward to every new episode. Some I watched multiple times. Much respect for the hard work and the big risks you all take before you even know if there will be profit. Thanks for educating us and congratulations on turning a profit.
I am very happy you and yours made a profit this year. Also Have a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Looking forward to more. All my very best.
Laura,Grant and Gage well done its tough and only getting tougher for the individual farm to survive. I am happy to hear that you all turned a profit, keep using that old equipment though it reminds me of the good old days at the feed lot
Congratuations on a successful year. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Here'shoping you have a Happy Holiday Season and hopefully the time and money for a warm winter escape! Wishing you an even more successful and less stressful 2025.
Neat video, gotta be a lot of attention to maintenance with all that equipment. I marvel at what that combine does, cuts the stalk, harvest the corn and removes the corn from the cob, amazing!
I'm glad that I found your channel. I enjoyed every video you put out very informative along wit entering , your actions with your Dad and your family and when you caught up with other youtubers that I watch.
Congratulations everyone on a job well done! It was certainly entertaining watching you all. I learned a lot from your videos. Everyone have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks for giving us a great year on your farm. Wishing you and Grant a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Hope you guys have plans for a nice vacation as well
When you were pushing the large shaft apart on your harvester a body shop hydraulic pusher, puller kit would make it safer and easier. These kits have multiple heads you can install on the ram to spread or pull with ease. The cost is usually very inexpensive. I enjoy your content and the fact that you and your husband seem to be very happy. It is a nice positive experience.
❤HI MISS laura. How's farmwork going.We had about an inch of snow today but the windchill is to get down below zero tonight. YAAAY LOL. YOU JOSH AND GRANT WORK SO WELL AS A TEAM. HAPPY HOLIDAYS SSWWETUE. LOVE YALL🎉😊
So glad you used the safety block Grant, I live in Australia and I working at a mine site and we told of a bloke working on a ewp and did not use the safety bloke on the machine he was working on and he is no longer living 😢.
Safety on the Farm :- It's great to see Laura's got her gloves on when handling the overhead-crane chains. 👍🏽👍🏽 Well when working under the head of the combine make sure anything are on trestle supports as a safety measure. And please before you pull any of your machines into the workshop for any maintenance work make sure your machine is cleaned off from dust, oil / grime or any debris from the fields. It will make your work area on the machine such a pleasure to work on and it will reduce the chance of any of those oil grime/mud, debris or dust to contaminate newly fitted parts especially where grease or oil is needed on new parts. As a heavy-duty machine mechanic on the mines we never worked on any machine unless is been cleaned before being pulled into the workshop for maintenance. Love your videos. 🇿🇦👍🏽🇿🇦
Laura I've been watching your channel for only a short period of time now but I can already say already enjoy your videos and enjoy the channel. But keep on doing what you do because you are an incredible and wonderful person hang your videos are entertaining and informative as well as educational ain't nothing but good vibes keep it up !!!
Love all your videos! I was raised in Nebraska on a farm south of Oxford. We used all John Deere tractors, 2 cylinders, and a 45 John Deere combine! 12 foot head on the combine, it used a 2 row corn head. Something you may want to check on the 6600, the way the corn husks and leaves, check to see if the straw walkers were working. where the stuff fell in the combine by the grain sivies and the spreaders were not running, makes me think that a belt was missing.
Glad to finally hear you say that you use future contracts. I took a class in commodity futures trading in college many years ago. Your operation is what hedging was designed for. Glad it kept you in the black.
Enjoyed the video. It's fun and enjoyable to follow y'all's videos. I'm not able to farm anymore due to the career path I took.So your videos lets me relive my past. Especially when y'all use the old equipment for the 60s and 70s, brings back lots of memories. It's also very heartwarming to see a young couple carrying on the tradition of farming. How y'all started on your parents' farm, then married, and eventually got your own farm. Keep it going, be safe, looking forward to future videos and growth of you farming journey. God Bless y'all.
I am amazed at the images your drone footage shows. The precision you are able to work with thanks to the technology available today. GPS as the obvious example. But then the computer software to assist with the driving, application of chemicals, irrigation and so on. No wonder U.S. agriculture is so productive. But it still takes the effort, hard work, courage and financial investment of farmers like you and Grant. Inspirational. Thanks for doing what you do so well, and sharing it with all of us. Happy Holidays.
Hi Guys, hope you are having a great day! Thank you for sharing everything with us. With out your sharing alot of us would not have a clue as to what it takes to be a farmer. Merry Christmas to you all and a happy new year 🎉. God Bless you 🙏❤️
I remember last years end of year talk. You were a bit upset because of the amount of money your found yourself dealing with. Nice to see you in control of the properties involved. Enjoyed watching this year and looking forward to the next.
Glad you made money this year Laura and team I enjoy your videos very much im happy with the hats got from your store Thank you for the information Thank you very much Laura🌽
You look so cute in Elegante today. I'm also very thrilled to hear that you're able to turn a profit this year. Hopefully you'll keep doing the UA-cam video still
Your attitude and spirit are so heartwarming to an old guy like me who thought that there were no more wonderful young people like you all. God bless you!
Glad you take the time to explain every step of growing your crops and tell us the many pitfalls involved. Between the weather, costs, and variables in profits we get an idea of just how involved and difficult modern farming can be. Farming truly is the lifeblood of the country and thanks for what you do and for letting us inside.
I support all of our farmers! I will support you!
Somehow the restaurants who serve the food and farmers who produce it are the only businesses that will accept that tight of margins and volitile market. The steps in between always build in a set margin the same as just about every other business does.
I’m so glad you include drone shots in your videos. It gives such a great perspective on what you’re doing.
Love the night drone footage.
Watching the journey from seed to harvest is so inspiring! That new 16-row corn head is a game-changer. 🚜✨ Hard work truly pays off!
I've watched lots of your videos. I believe this one is the best of all I've seen. You are deserving of an Emmy! .
From one farmer to another, congratulations on your harvest and seeing some profit at the end of the year, That is an achievement today, well done. Good luck in the coming year.

Of all the comments that I’ve read in the last five years. This is the one that I would tell my own children.
America needs more farmers like those on Laura Farms. Children raised on a farm and in a farming community know the value of hard work, communication and ingenuity. Kudos to Laura Farms, splendid UA-cam channel.
The footage of that old combine going to work brought tears to my eyes..memories of my Grand dad's farm in Sheridan, In in the 1950's and 1960's..when I could skip school and help him harvest for 6 weeks.Best days ever !!
The stand alone separate video on the old combine was neat.
Shout out to all farmers for keeping America fed! Thank you! Thank you!
Fed with food that has cancer causing chemicals dripping with them
Thanks for combining clips from your harvest videos to show us an overview of farm life. I am glad to hear you made money this growing season.
I like the nostalgia trip cutting through the field with vintage equipment. This adds the perspective of progressive farming - PAST ... PRESENT ... and FUTURE!
Good job on the clean up of your equipment after harvest. Congratulations on being profitable. Thanks for sharing your progress!
It's been our distinct pleasure to watch you, Grant and Gage show us what it takes to put your product out there. Thank you 😊
That was a really nice video summarizing the years work. It was especially nice to see the neighborliness of all the farmers coming together to help each other out fighting the field fires.

Brazilian farmers dont have EPA or government regulations skyrocketing the prices of things like they do in the US.
The US has regulated itself into non-prosperity.
Laura you are so inspiring! I love your content and how much work you do with farming is breathtaking difficult and time consuming. This leads me into how much time and work goes into all your video's and editing on top of your farming and one would ask how can you fit it all in a day and how can you possibly have any free-time for yourself. Laura you are a cut above the rest and my hats off to you. I pray for God to bless you and your family and for whatever you put your hands to will prosper. God bless
Thank you and all Farmers/Ranchers for taking the risks and hard work to provide me with my food. I am pleased that this year was profitable for your operation I wish their was a way to help your industry remain consistentely in the black. Again thanks and have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Ray
Hi laura I love your videos keep up the great work
Been looking forward to every new episode. Some I watched multiple times. Much respect for the hard work and the big risks you all take before you even know if there will be profit. Thanks for educating us and congratulations on turning a profit.
I am very happy you and yours made a profit this year. Also Have a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Looking forward to more. All my very best.
Great review of the year! So much to consider, so many decisions to make, and so many costs incurred. Great to see a profitable year for you.
this was a perfect video for my Saturday morning workout. well done guys. I hope your off season is going well. I look forward to that video too.
Laura,Grant and Gage well done its tough and only getting tougher for the individual farm to survive.
I am happy to hear that you all turned a profit, keep using that old equipment though it reminds me of the good old days at the feed lot
Congratuations on a successful year. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Here'shoping you have a Happy Holiday Season and hopefully the time and money for a warm winter escape! Wishing you an even more successful and less stressful 2025.
Neat video, gotta be a lot of attention to maintenance with all that equipment. I marvel at what that combine does, cuts the stalk, harvest the corn and removes the corn from the cob, amazing!
Knowing your equipment like you guys do makes it easier to work on solutions. Great work keep it up.👍🏽
I'm glad that I found your channel. I enjoyed every video you put out very informative along wit entering , your actions with your Dad and your family and when you caught up with other youtubers that I watch.
Hey Laura Grant and crew you guys are amazing and put in hard work into your farm work. The videos are awesome as well. I enjoy watching them
Very informative and entertaining. Great production quality, as well. You guys rock!
Congratulations everyone on a job well done! It was certainly entertaining watching you all. I learned a lot from your videos. Everyone have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks for giving us a great year on your farm. Wishing you and Grant a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Hope you guys have plans for a nice vacation as well
When you were pushing the large shaft apart on your harvester a body shop hydraulic pusher, puller kit would make it safer and easier. These kits have multiple heads you can install on the ram to spread or pull with ease. The cost is usually very inexpensive. I enjoy your content and the fact that you and your husband seem to be very happy. It is a nice positive experience.
❤HI MISS laura. How's farmwork going.We had about an inch of snow today but the windchill is to get down below zero tonight. YAAAY LOL.
YOU JOSH AND GRANT WORK SO WELL AS A TEAM. HAPPY HOLIDAYS SSWWETUE. LOVE YALL🎉😊
Those drone shots are really cool. I love watching this site for all the details and information about farming.
So glad you used the safety block Grant, I live in Australia and I working at a mine site and we told of a bloke working on a ewp and did not use the safety bloke on the machine he was working on and he is no longer living 😢.
Safety on the Farm :- It's great to see Laura's got her gloves on when handling the overhead-crane chains. 👍🏽👍🏽 Well when working under the head of the combine make sure anything are on trestle supports as a safety measure. And please before you pull any of your machines into the workshop for any maintenance work make sure your machine is cleaned off from dust, oil / grime or any debris from the fields. It will make your work area on the machine such a pleasure to work on and it will reduce the chance of any of those oil grime/mud, debris or dust to contaminate newly fitted parts especially where grease or oil is needed on new parts. As a heavy-duty machine mechanic on the mines we never worked on any machine unless is been cleaned before being pulled into the workshop for maintenance.
Love your videos.

Laura I've been watching your channel for only a short period of time now but I can already say already enjoy your videos and enjoy the channel. But keep on doing what you do because you are an incredible and wonderful person hang your videos are entertaining and informative as well as educational ain't nothing but good vibes keep it up !!!
Love all your videos! I was raised in Nebraska on a farm south of Oxford. We used all John Deere tractors, 2 cylinders, and a 45 John Deere combine! 12 foot head on the combine, it used a 2 row corn head. Something you may want to check on the 6600, the way the corn husks and leaves, check to see if the straw walkers were working. where the stuff fell in the combine by the grain sivies and the spreaders were not running, makes me think that a belt was missing.
Glad to finally hear you say that you use future contracts. I took a class in commodity futures trading in college many years ago. Your operation is what hedging was designed for. Glad it kept you in the black.
Enjoyed the video. It's fun and enjoyable to follow y'all's videos. I'm not able to farm anymore due to the career path I took.So your videos lets me relive my past. Especially when y'all use the old equipment for the 60s and 70s, brings back lots of memories. It's also very heartwarming to see a young couple carrying on the tradition of farming. How y'all started on your parents' farm, then married, and eventually got your own farm. Keep it going, be safe, looking forward to future videos and growth of you farming journey. God Bless y'all.
I am amazed at the images your drone footage shows. The precision you are able to work with thanks to the technology available today. GPS as the obvious example. But then the computer software to assist with the driving, application of chemicals, irrigation and so on. No wonder U.S. agriculture is so productive. But it still takes the effort, hard work, courage and financial investment of farmers like you and Grant. Inspirational. Thanks for doing what you do so well, and sharing it with all of us. Happy Holidays.
Hi Guys, hope you are having a great day!
Thank you for sharing everything with us.
With out your sharing alot of us would not have a clue as to what it takes to be a farmer.
Merry Christmas to you all and a happy new year 🎉.
God Bless you 🙏❤️
Congrats on the season. Keep up the good work and content. Enjoy all your videos. 🇺🇸
Laura so glad you had a good year, you all deserve it , such hard working young people. May God bless and lots of love from pa ❤❤
Thank you for all you do for all of us! Framers are ramazing!
I remember last years end of year talk. You were a bit upset because of the amount of money your found yourself dealing with. Nice to see you in control of the properties involved. Enjoyed watching this year and looking forward to the next.
Very nice summation of your harvest and work for the year. I really like these types of vlogs. And a profit isn't anything to sneaze at either. 👍👍👍
Congratulations on a successful year! Hopefully energy prices will be down next year and you can add to the profit margin. Thanks for a great year!
Thanks for the great season! I enjoyed following along.
Glad you made money this year Laura and team
